About our care home hog roast in Nash
Day centres and retirement housing near Nash also book us, for themed days and gatherings. We’re often asked to cater home anniversaries and sheltered housing gatherings, serving new potatoes, thinly carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
In Nash, care homes usually have limited outdoor space, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

What affects the price in Nash
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from opening windows
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- A level spot in the garden or car park
As a London location, Nash is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Nash
Can you do a hog roast in Coney Hall Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Where do you cook at a care home?
In the grounds, never in the kitchen and away from opening windows.
What about texture-modified diets?
We do not prepare texture-modified meals; we’ll work alongside your kitchen.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your residents will want somewhere dry to eat.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What allergens are in the food?
You’ll get allergen details for everything. Stuffing usually contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late May, sunset in Nash is about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We tidy up and leave calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
